Forums - Gaming - My perspective of the four fanboys of videogaming.

Hmm my generalization of anti-fanboys: They bitch way too much about fanboys that they make themselves look even worse than the typical fanboy stereotypes.

Only one I don't purely agree with on is the Nintendo Fanboy. The usual Nintendo fanboy bitches and moans because 3 things: Mother 3, Mother, and Metroid. Most don't put Nintendo games up on a pedestal, they treat them as a standard for non-glitched games because of Nintendo's high standards. Unrealistically comparing games like Mario Kart to Gran Turismo and so on.

I can usually describe the haters for all the categories though:

PC Haters: Loves to rag on the base cost of building a PC (There is a realistic base cost if you are building from scratch). Rags on PC users when they get exclusive content first, etc.

PS haters: Says games aren't up to par. Makes claims like the free service sucks because it's free. Saying controller sucks, etc.

Nintendo Haters: Loves to make doomed post, compares all of Nintendo products to things made 2 or 3 generations ago. Claims there is no innovation in their games and console, without recognizing the lack of innovation in their preferred platform. Says all the games are for kids, etc (I can write a book with what I have seen)

MS haters: Rags on live gold costing money, makes fun of all the FPS games on the console ignoring the adventure games. Rags on controller for shape.

To be honest, people have their preferences. Can't help that, shouldn't make fun of people for having their preferences. 

 

P.S. I'm going to add this line to PS and MS fanboys: Thinks all their IPs are mature compared to all of Nintendo's IPs.

its not so much about the rating, but the genres and the dumbing down of games. i.e. EA Sports games on Wii beocme cartoony bullshit and had insulting covers intead of just respecting adult gamers. 

So how does your wish that third parties should stop doing such bullshit differ from the wishes of the rest of the Nintendo fanbase?

Difference being I support games that don't go out of their way to insult adult gamers.


Most Nintendo guys don't want 3rd party games thats the issue. They find the smallest reasons not to buy even the decent ones.  i.e. it has minor bugs, frame rate issues (even though same bugs if not more exist and same frame rate issue on the other platforms).Rayman Legends, boycott Ubisoft cause it was delayed. COD oh its missing DLC, like a couple maps, big deal.



 

 

This just seems an opportunity to bash people in an indirect way so he would avoid ban... to bad he done that directly in the other thread and god banned.

About the differences between the fanboys it is probably his vision being favourable of one system that makes him see the fanboys of different platforms this way.

There are several types of fanboys on each platform and we see them as reflections of ourselves, so what we think is bad about the system make we see the defenders of that system. So if we think not all Ninty games are great we will single out the Nintendo fans as seing all their fanboys praise all their games. If we see that Sony have done several bad decisions and there are some Sony fans that defend the company even on the fuck ups them you see all the fanboys of Sony as being apologetic and supporting the bad decisions. etc... In the end all blind fanboys are bad, and normal fanboys just like a lot their system and defend it in a normal way, your posture against them is that define what you see of them.

I hate how Nintendo fans are always so defensive. On the one hand they're claiming the throne of best games and on the other they react viciously when called on subpar sales or experiences.

Guys, you can't be both the hero AND the victim of gaming. Decide already!

With the exception that Nintendo actiually are the heros of gaming and the others just claim to be.

 To quote a wise man:

I hate Nintendo Fanboys. Not because they're spewing misinformation about technology but because they're so fucking defensive all the time. They're the only people who have absolutely no right and no reason to be defensive. Nintendo pretty much invented videogaming and the best games of all time are exclusive to Nintendo. They shouldn't care crap about what anyone says about their console. 
The WiiU has bad sales? Mario, you fuckers!
The WiiU is not as strong as the other consoles? Zelda, you dick lickers!
Nintendo is doomed? Suck on Bayonetta 2!

 Those are responses! You're not in a penis measuring contest. You are the Judge! So stop trying to defend every negative thing that happens to Nintendo. You don't hav to prove anything, MS and Sony have to.

Heroes of gaming? Thats just opinions. Yes, they make great games, but if youre more into realistic games and great stories, then not so much...

The term "Casual Gamer" has lost all meaning...
